Flights to Pitve, Jelsa from NT$2,695

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Pitve.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Pitve, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
